The arrival of the iPad 2 brought front and rear cameras to the iPad and opened up a whole new world of apps which could take advantage of this technology. The quality of the cameras was not in the same league as the iPhone, but they are decent enough to be useful for learning and teaching purposes. The arrival of subsequent generation iPads has increased the quality of the cameras and the device is now capable of producing great quality video. Whilst even higher quality would be nice, (probably coming in future updates to the iPad), for those interested in learning, the process can be as important as the final product.

iMovie (£2.99/free with a new iPad)

Apple again raises the bar for what an app can achieve - brilliant video editing for the iPad.

Pinnacle Studio (£5.49)

Worthy competitor to iMovie - has some great features iMovie lacks - more complex interface.

Celtx Shots (£1.49 + in app)

Sophisticated storyboarding app which has many features and extra functionality via in-app purchases.

VideoPix (£0.69)

Useful app which enables the creation of high quality still images taken from video footage.
